Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis
THE TRUTH
Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.
Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis was badly hurt, was holding on for dear life and was staggering around the ring like a drunk, he barely survived the 2nd round. Lewis was getting outboxed, outworked, outlanded and was badly hurt several times in the fight.
punches landed
Vitali 156
Lewis 102
Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.
All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.
Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.
Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.
Lewis turned down 30 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.
Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his ***** ass into retirement.
George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"
Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"
Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.
Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

Originally posted by New England View Postbritish fighters deserving of credit are regularly praised on here
there have been plenty of great british fighters in both the contemporary and historic contexts
to say that they deserve an equal share of the total praise, however, is foolish.
the best fighters in the world fight in the states. if we praise them more regularly it's because there's more to praise, not because we believe the british fighters aren't worthy of praise.
a winning run gets you out of britain, does it not?
it's certainly not that way in the states.
i'm a huge fan of the way british fighters are raised domestically. it builds true fan-bases (there is only one ricky hatton)
huge, dedicated fanbases, that will travel the world.
but the fighters fight and aspire to better their careers for the opportunity to enter the "world level"
and that generally means fighting against world champions who live and train and fight in north america, particularly the united states.
for the record :
if vitali say's lennox is out of this world strong, i believe the guy.
lennox was an absolute dumptruck of a man once he filled out
an underrated boxer
and a tough guy through and through
nobody outside of the fools discredit lennox lewis because of his britishness.
brits are generally gentlemanly fighters
the best top to bottom fight card i've seen in a huge stretch was the "Magnificent 7"Originally posted by Royabeda View PostVitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"
In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"
Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement. That's a FACT.

They'll gain some converts once they're gone. Heaven forbid there's an era of even more boring match-ups; Klitschko haters will be pining for the days of Wlad and Vitali....
